We have some big news this morning - The Wall Street Journal has been working on a nice FEATURE which just appeared in todays WSJ National Edition (print & online) showcasing Rob Grant & Assoc. Real Estate www.AdirondackRealEstate.com
and one of our newest - and certaily most unique - Adirondack listings!


The property being showcased is Kilkenny Lodge - A magnificent Adirondack lodge built in 1901-02 as part of a summer compound for William Kingsley, a New York banker who became president of the U.S. Trust Company.
The building has over 4200 square feet and features seven bedrooms, 6 baths, lovely hardwood floors, wood paneling, massive stone fireplaces, a private study and library, and a spectacular 80 foot long porch that stretches along the entire length of the lodge.
The property is situated on a very private 2.3 acres surrounded by woods and streams with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.
The asking Price: $690,000.

The Wall Street Journal has just launched this new feature which will be showcasing unique properties from around the world. This new concept is designed to be interactive - inviting WSJ readers to go online at WSJ.com/realestate to
"Post your guess as to how much the house will sell for - and when".

For the record, the listing broker, Rob Grant, is quoted as "expecting the lodge to sell for close to the asking price in mid or late summer".

The Wall Street Journal will now be tracking this listing for the next 6 months to see if readers guess corectly - and which reader comes closest to how much $ and when the property will sell.

Many thanks,
Rob

Kilkenny Lodge

STATS:

A 4,200-square-foot, seven-bedroom, 5 1/2 bath home on 2.3 acres asking $690,000, or $164 per square foot. Property taxes in 2010 were $7,070.

This Adirondack lodge was built in 1901-02 as part of a summer compound for William Kingsley, a New York banker who became president of the U.S. Trust Company. Over the years the property served as a resort before being sub-divided into single-family homes.

A caribou head hangs in the great room (owners couldn't find a moose whose antlers fit the nine-foot ceilings). An almost 80-foot-long porch stretches along the front of the house.
